Who did these EGD and X-Rays ??
I would definitely agree with the others, you should stick with liquids or try the Aloe Vera for awhile. The band is not 'supposed' to be painful at all. Did they do a gallbladder ultrasound as well? Acid reflux would be more esophageal pain or discomfort, not stomach. I'm really sorry to hear you're having so much trouble. Please keep us posted. Quote: |

I know its from the band b/c this pain worsens when eating or drinking. They say that it might be acid reflux....if anyone has had acid reflux due to the band please let me know how long after taking the medications did the pain subside. I have been crying all day and night and I dont know what to do...I almost want to have it taken out.:help: |
